Pretty Pleats?

Ok ladies,
Let's talk pleats. Don't be afraid. Let's get honest. Pleats can either go fabulously or horribly, there is no middle ground. None. So be patient, you will find the perfect pleated skirt, and I'm here to help you find it.

Ann Taylor, Accordion Pleated Skirt, $74

A beautiful clean colorblock with a high low hem. Just stunning.

Asos, Glamorous Pleated Skirt, $25

Pleats aren't just for the office. This skirt is ready for dancing.

Revolve Clothing, Obey Saint Laurent Maxi Skirt, $60

How about some maxi pleats? The gorgeous pop of orange breaks up the length.

Modcloth, School Day After Day, $37

Adorable? Yes. Add a navy blazer? Absolutely.

So you see pleats aren't just for prep school anymore. They're mini, maxi, work and play!

Zip It

Let's get really specific today. You all know I love details and today is no different. Today we're going to add some interest to a tee. Yep. And nothing crazy. A zipper. I give you the zipper tee.

Target, Mossimo Short Sleeve Tee with Zipper, $19

This was the item that inspired this post. Simple and chic. Scoop neck, high low hem, great color and a simple zipper.

Forever 21, Stud & Zipper Trimmed Tee, $17

I'm not sure why this model looks so surprised to be here but the tee looks great on her. Super relaxed.

Ralph Lauren, Zippered Striped Crewneck, $10

You truly cannot beat the price of this tee for the quality that you'll be getting. It's going to last a while. Notice the simple zipper on the shoulder.

Zappos, Type Z Ciela Zipper Pocket Tee, $35

Again with the surprised models. I guess zippers scare the crap out of ladies. In any case, this is an adorable tee ready for a leather skirt.

Zippers are unexpected when they're not holding an item together. Use them for extra interest without necessarily having to wear a pattern.

Seeing Double

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I sure did. Spent it with my best friend from high school. Can't top that.

Today I wanted to look at a print that I'm slowly warming up to. The mirror print. It's exactly what it sounds like, a print that is flipped on the other side of the garment. You can find the print on dresses, tops, skirts, even bathing suits.

Piperlime, Sabine Folk Print Shift, $79

This dress is absolutely perfect for transitioning into fall. I love pairing the booties with this or adding a motorcycle jacket. 

Modcloth, Reflecting Cool Top, $29

Again, a great layering piece. You can wear it with shorts now and then tuck it into a pencil skirt for work.

JCPenny, Bisou Bisou Mirror Print Dress, $49

I love the mix of pretty pinks with the harsher black.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin McKenzie Mirror Print Mini, $35

Not many sizes left with this one, but what a great mini. Wear it now with lace up heels and later with patterned tights.

The mirror print is a great eye catching style that works all year round. You can find it in any mix of colors while style staying in budget.
